Dumb history question: What happened to the Western Roman military after 476? I assume they didn't all just deactivate like the droids from the Phantom Menace or the aliens in the first Avengers movie.

Yeah, but there were like, still units with officers and ranks and formations and stuff. Like, did they just change their name from the 12th Spaghetti-Eaters Legion to the 12th Kraut Legion but continue functioning as a unit or did everyone just take their ball and go home?

unfortunately we have reached the limits of my knowledge! do wonder if many just seized territory though eg, dux -> Duke pure speculation and probably wrong :)

The loss of Africa (and repeated failures to reconquer it) were probably terminal. Though The Western Army had failed to drive Alaric away from Rome even before that.
